I know I mentioned this site long ago, but I lost track of it, and I am sure that many of my readers have never heard of it.
Actually Karen Larsdatter, one of those public benefactors like Roger Pearse, has two projects worthy of note. The first, Material Culture Linkspages for the Middle Ages and Renaissance, I will let her describe herself:
Links to material culture (stuff!) from the Middle Ages and Renaissance, including representations in period artwork. Some of these focus on garments, or surveys of occupational dress, or even animals. For a complete list of the linkspages and articles on this site, see the sitemap.
A good example is her recent linkspage on depictions of knighting ceremonies from datable manuscripts.
And if you want to keep up with her new linkspages and other interesting news, she's got a blog.
